  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    Evil is an act. The absence of good doesnt mean evil. If I dont do something good, I can be doing something neutral. I am not committing evil. If I am not donating to charity, am I doing something evil right now? If I play gameboy, am I doing evil, am I doing good? I can also commit evil...

    That sounds more logical and is what I was thinking but that means God creates evil. Isnt that a bad thing? Is there an answer to this question that doesnt seem to contradict the totally loving nature of God? By creating evil, God has ultimately lead to people's damnation

    Maybe predestination was a bad word. I mean it is a created option. I cant choose to do anything that hasnt been allowed, correct? Assuming God created the world from nothing, the limitations we have in the physical world are either the absence of permission or predetermined limitations...

    But I couldnt choose something if it wasnt a predestined action that I can do. I cant bite my ears because it isnt a predestined action that I can do. God has to allow that action. Nothing can be done if not allowed by God. Not really. Even to me, this doesnt answer it. But it is like...

    My friends know that free will doesnt create evil. Saying that humans chose to sin doesnt not answer this question. God has to create evil then allow us to sin. However, this doesnt sound like my God. I want to know the truth. I cant fly unless God allows me and I certainly cant give myself...

    Hey fellow believers. I heard this today and I have no idea how to take it If you havent heard it, here it is: “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil...
